The function get_page_bootmem() may be called more than one time to the same
page. There is no need to set page's type, private if the function is not
the first time called to the page.

Note: the patch is just optimization and does not fix any problem.

If I understand correctly, page->lru.next might be uninitialized yet.

Moreover, I have no seen any good effect in this patch. I don't understand
why we need to increase code complexity.

Ah yes. I was misunderstanding...

Hi Wen,

When you update the physical hot remove patch-set, please drop the patch.
